comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and
controversy"

Bring on the Jandles...


Speedo

You’ve walked a mile or two with me
my sole for unforgotten times
pieces of sand scratch beneath you
your Velcro frayed at ends
your sides cracked
resembling
a hard day’s work

broken in

comfortable

hardly even there

my sole’s imprinted on you
the makings of tiresome days
connecting you to me with every groove
throw it away they say

you’re broken

irreplaceable

another quest for the perfect summer sandal has begun
